Id think Mondo will get worked but this is all about making money.

Warholm might jog to make it look interesting

Warholm is gonna dust his arse but I get it. Sounds like a fun event.

ETA: Should've had Warholm do a pole vault too.

Throw in Tyreek so he can lose to a pole vaulter and a long hurdler

Jogging a 10.5 to beat Mondo running a 10.7?

What is the upside of this for Mondo besides money?

is it really worth it to get whipped by a woman?

Besides his girlfriends and kids, these are two other people he should be able to beat

Karsten is a man… & for the record, Mondo would absolutely beat Sydney McLaughlin (WR holder) in a 100m race

To be fair, Chris misspelled Karsten's name in his tweet

Mondo’s PR was in Lafayette his senior year of high school at the parish track meet. He never participated in the 100 before and asked his coach to enter him. He won the race and was .02 second from breaking the all time meet record.

He also won the long jump that day. Pretty impressive.

Of course, he won the pole vault, too.

I think Warholm is a few tenths off his prime. It could be very close.

Nothing about this race really excites me much.

Not gonna lie. 10.57 for a high school kid whom sprinting was probably never his main sport and likely never seriously trained for, that's still pretty doggone impressive.

I thought he was making so much money representing Sweden he didn’t need to do gimmicks?

Good point. He has no integrity. He’ll do anything for cash. What’s his excuse this time? Did his mom run the 100m too?

They've been joking about this for a while so glad they are doing it. Maybe get Noah and Tyreek to race a 60.

Don't sleep on Mondo. He carries more speed down that runway than any vaulter in history, which is why he is so dominant. Don't know if he can win, but it will be closer than people think.
